Mr.. and Mrs. A. DeKay entertained
II company of friends ut tea on FIJI
day evening of last week.
| Men are strange creatures. Iney
| will waste an hour hunting collar
button instead of having an extra
supply and letting their wife find the
| missing one. You never see 4 woman
look Ior the pin she drops. Her hus-
| band finds 1t when he walks around
in his bare feet.-EX.
Is it true, rs frequently stated, that
landlords and bonanza farmers are
rapidly driving small tillers of the
soil to the wall? Is there necessity
for limiting the ownership Of land in
| the United States and if so, to what
extent? The TRIBUNE will be
pleased to publish any well written
| answers to these questisns.
Mrs. Nj. \. Whitley left yesterday
noon for st. Paul to purchase a stock
of millinery goods. She intends
! getting complete stock and will be-
| gin business in short time i'll the
| building next to +. E. Newell's store.
Mrs. Whiteley, until Il few years ago,
was the milliner of the place and has
many friends who will be pleased to
learn that she will soon be in business
again.
Rev. c. Holman has just sold IL
farm of 120 acres near st. Paul for
over $24,OOO.OO. This farm was pur-
chased in 1869 for So, 10000, so it will
be seen that Rev. Holman has made
reasonable profit in the speculation.
Rev. HOLMAN has purchased a resi-
dence here in Morris and with his
aged wife will settle down here to
enjoy the remainder of their declin-
ing years.
Some dealers and business men
have adopted good plan to ascer-
tain to whom to give credit. When
a man asks for credit the dealer or
party of whom the indulgence is
asked, then ascertains il the applicant
is subscriber TO his county paper,
and if so, whether he pays for
his paper promptly. II he does not,
credit is refused MIN. The criterion
ia good one to judge by.-Ex.
The Gala lily in the beautiful
wreath Of flowers that was seen upon
the casket containing the remains of
Mrs. Hall, during the funeral services
in the Congregational church last
Friday morning, was the fifth bios
som that in succession has been
taken from Mrs. VOLTS Gala as
soon as fully formed, to be used for a
funeral occasion. If this had occurred
! fifty years ago, superstition would
attach and whenever the Gala begins
to bloom, a funeral would be eX.
pected.
! Last Thursday morning G. L. Brown
was duly appointed by Gov. McGill
as Judge of this, the 10th, judicial
district, Mr.. Brown had the unani
nous support Of the people and bar
of the district for the position and
his appointment gives more than
| general satisfaction. On Monday
! morning Mr.. Brown resigned as
county attorney and gave up his
| law practice and has entered upon
the duties of his ne~ and important
position. The TRIBUNE extends it's
hearty congratulations to Mr.. Brown
upon his deserved promotion.
